Does this have anything to do with time - the passage of, or the noting of the passage of time? Indeed. In other words, consulting your watch/clock, without being aware that you are doing so? Very close!

Automatically looking at your wrist whenever someone asks you the time, even if you're not wearing a watch? Or maybe looking at your "blank" wrist during a long-winded conversation and saying "Oh, look at the time, I've got to go"? No to both.

Constantly looking at your watch, and then not being able to give the time an instant later, when somebody asks you? I never do this, because I don't wear a watch, but my husband does it _all the time_. Of course, it annoys him that I ask him the time _all the time_.

SPOILER Falattah is a word inspired by the acronym 'lattaf' - looking at the time and forgetting'. I don't wear a wristwatch, but use my phone. Too often I find that after taking it out of my pocket to se what time it is, I need to take it out again because I forgot to consciously register what I saw. Thanks for playing!
